A Level Poetry: ‘Eat Me’ by Patience Agbabi

(0)
Agbabi’s ‘Eat Me’ is a dynamic text that explores the (sometimes) subtle nature of spousal abuse and the covert control of masculinity, it remains a significant text for our post-modern society. I have taught this text a number of times, and I have used this specific resource (revised in 2021), to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet/Skype lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool for revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically illustrated 29 slide PowerPoint lesson contains, a starter activity, a text overview, exploration tasks connected to content, summary and analysis questions connected to language and its devices, questions pertaining to structure and theme, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. No further work is required from the teacher. This is a complete resource. Enjoy!

‘Never Let Me Go’ by Kazuo Ishiguro explores an enduring love that battles a hopeless situation. Using the canvas of cloning, Ishiguro explores the moral, spiritual and legal debates connected to the creation of life. In our fractured post-modern world, this text remains both significant and essential. I have taught this text a number of times in recent years, and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource (SKYPE Lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically illustrated PowerPoint lesson (23 slides) works as bridge into the text, by focusing on the follow three areas. (i) The life of the author and how this shaped the content of his literary works. (ii) The leading themes present within the text. (iii) The characterisation of the leading personalities within the same text. This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
